Two platforms.
Same questions.
GitHub Copilot
DEVELOPER / CODING
PROMPT
GitHub does not claim ownership over code inputs. Code submitted to Copilot remains the user's property.
OUTPUT
GitHub does not assert ownership over code suggestions. Users are responsible for determining the IP status of generated code.
TRAINING
GitHub Privacy Statement confirms: 'Product Development and Improvement: We use Personal Data to develop and improve our products, services, and technologies, including artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. This includes improving features, developing new offerings, enhancing safety and security capabilities, and training models. We apply appropriate technical safeguards, including aggregation and de-identification techniques where feasible.' Affiliates including Microsoft may also receive data for 'product development and improvement (including training and improving artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies).' Individual tier: code snippets and telemetry may be used for training (opt-out in IDE settings). Business/Enterprise: training on user code is off by default, no data retention beyond session.
COMMERCIAL
Commercial use is the primary intended use case, particularly for Copilot for Business and Enterprise plans.

Tavus
IMAGE / VIDEO / AUDIO GENERATION
PROMPT
Users own all Customer Content submitted to Tavus, including Seed Files (videos used to train the AI replica). No ownership transfer occurs.
OUTPUT
Users own all AI-generated Media Files and Interactive Media Files created through the Tavus platform. Output ownership is explicitly assigned to the customer.
TRAINING
Tavus grants itself a license to use Customer Content (including Seed Files — facial/voice data used to create digital avatars) and Media Files 'to provide you with the functionality of, and to maintain and improve, Tavus' products and services, including the Tavus Platform.' This is a broad improvement license that explicitly covers AI output files. Tavus may also collect and use 'aggregated and/or de-identified usage data' to improve the platform. No separate explicit no-training commitment was identified.
COMMERCIAL
Commercial integration is permitted; users may build applications using Tavus APIs and make them available to end users in accordance with the documentation.
